Ukraine warns of new ‘wall’ in Europe as Russian strikes kill 21

KYIV (HRNW) – Ukraine s leader on Thursday accused Moscow of building a new Cold War wall across Europe “between freedom and bondage”, as his government said Russian shelling had killed 21 more civilians.

Three weeks into their devastating invasion, Russian forces also stood accused of bombing a theatre sheltering many civilians and marked with the word “children”.

Fresh fighting broke out on the edge of Kyiv Thursday, as Russian troops strive to encircle the Ukrainian capital in their slow-moving offensive.

Ukrainian and Russian forces traded shell and rocket fire in the northwest of the city, journalists witnessed.

Civilians ran for cover as shelling set fire to a building near a warehouse, across the road from a mall with a multiplex cinema.

Inside the warehouse s car park, a Ukranian soldier carrying a rifle ran in a crouch as gunshots crackled.

A man carried a prone child in his arms into a nearby block of flats, and at least five ambulances raced towards the scene.
